Coming in Penvia 1.3.2. The features on this page arrive with version 1.3.2, which is in testing and not on the App Store yet. Today’s version is 1.3.1.
What a smart card shows
- One key line: the amount and due date of an invoice, the dates of a booking, a flight number with departure time, or “Out for delivery”.
- Up to two facts, such as an order number or a seat.
- Actions that make sense: copy a number, reference, tracking number or code; add a flight or booking to Calendar.
- Full message and the sender’s own link, always one tap away.
Careful by design
A card shows a detail only when Penvia read it with high confidence, from the structured data in the email or from a clearly labelled line. If it is not sure, you see the normal email. Labelled lines are recognised in English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese and Turkish. Everything happens on your device; nothing is sent to a server.
Where you see cards
Cards appear in Updates and in the chat with that sender, so receipts and travel details stay out of your conversations with people but are easy to find. Files still collects every attached PDF.
Questions
Which emails become smart cards?
Automatic emails such as invoices and receipts, booking confirmations, flight confirmations, delivery notices and account notices (for example a new sign-in), when Penvia can read their details with high confidence.
Will a personal email ever turn into a card?
No. A person’s own email always stays a normal chat bubble. Text-based cards are only made for automatic senders.
Where does the information come from?
From the email itself: first from the structured data many companies embed in their emails (schema.org), otherwise from clearly labelled lines such as “Total due” or “Booking reference”. Penvia never guesses missing details, and the reading happens on your device.
Can I still open the original email?
Yes. Every card has Full message, and the sender’s own link (such as View invoice) when the email has one.
